The Affordability Report Card was created by a team of HNS Resident
Researchers and local community stakeholders as part of a HNS LincLab where we use organizing and design thinking to put what we’re leanring into action for equitable communities! This scorecard helps community residents use HNS data to:
1. Re-define affordability on residents’ terms,
2. Assess the current and future state of quality, accessible, affordable housing,
3. Build and sustain resilience, as defined by community in a Collective Restorative Agreement for Community Resilience, which must include affordable housing.
4. Demand and support development that aligns with these terms
